The quartermaster in charge of the meal learned that it was the chief bookkeeper Lu Bu who wanted to invite someone to eat, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he hurriedly asked a few firehead soldiers to pick up the food together, and specially took out half a sheep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the subordinates who were quietly called into the account by Chen Wei saw Lu Bu, they felt a little strange and puzzled, they just met during the day, and they ate together at night, Lu Bu couldn't help but be too enthusiastic about everyone, right?

Before the meal was delivered, Lu Bu solved the doubts in everyone's hearts. "After everyone is full, follow me out of the city quietly, let's go to Luoyang to step on the surroundings, there will be a big action in a few days!"

"Big Operation?" A question mark was drawn on everyone's minds.

After a while, the meal was delivered, and a group of fierce men feasted and ate very quickly.

For a moment, everything is silent. Lu Bu took Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and other subordinates quietly out of the valley gate, and soon disappeared in the boundless night.

The Gumen is now controlled by the Bingzhou Army, and Lu Bu, as the chief bookkeeper of the army, also holds the Tiger Talisman, and can enter and exit the city gate at any time. Among the soldiers guarding the door, many of them are still Lu Bu's old knowledge, and they will not make any extraneous branches.

After coming out of the valley gate, Lu Bu led the people along the foot of Beimang Mountain to the west, bypassing the Xia Gate far away, and then turned to the south, also passing far away from the Shangxi Gate, Yongmen and Guangyang Gate on the west side of Luoyang City.

After looking at the three city gates in the west, Lu Bu kept moving, and led everyone around to the south, close to Luoshui, passing through the Tianjin Gate, the Pingcheng Gate and the Kaiyang Gate in turn, and then going around to the east city wall, and turning the Consumption Gate, the Middle East Gate and the Upper East Gate in turn.

Because they were quietly moving at night, in order to keep it secret, the people were more cautious in their movements, and by the time they returned to the valley gate from the Upper East Gate, it had already taken more than two hours. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright, Lu Bu asked all his subordinates to go back to the camp tent to make up for the rest, and he himself lay down on the couch, without taking off his clothes, and fell asleep.

When Lu Bu was still asleep, there was already tension in the South Palace in the imperial city, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo, who had already received He Jin and He Miao's soldiers and horses, launched a test against Ding Yuan, and he asked Ding Yuan in public in the court to ask Ding Yuan, who actually controlled Taicang and the arsenal, to provide food and armor for the Xiliang soldiers, but Ding Yuan refused mercilessly.

Ding Yuan refuted Dong Zhuo and said that the grain stored in Taicang was used to deal with the famine in Beijing, and since Dong Zhuo was leading troops into Beijing, he should have prepared his own rations, how could he tamper with the grain in Taicang. As for providing armor for the Western Army, Ding Yuan even ridiculed Dong Zhuo for being, could it be that the soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo were all unarmed people? And the armor of the Jingshi Forbidden Army is even more complete, and there is no need for additional provision at all.

In a word, above the court, Dong Zhuo, the former general who held Jin Wu Ding Yuan was not a bird. The cowardly young emperor Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair and didn't dare to speak at all, like a clay wooden tire.

The civil officials in the court were overjoyed when they saw Ding Yuan arguing with Dong Zhuo, how could they stand up and help Ding Yuan or Dong Zhuo speak. What they are most afraid of is the collusion of military generals, and what they like to see the most is the conflict between military generals.

These old guys, who are accustomed to making paste, neither criticize Dong Zhuo's unreasonable demands, nor approve of Ding Yuan's justified opposition, but just keep making mud and remind the two military generals who hold military power to pay attention to their identity and image, and not to lose their honor in front of the king.

As a result, the meeting naturally broke up unhappily.

When Dong Zhuo came out of Nangong, he glared at Ding Yuan fiercely with his eyes, and Ding Yuan was not afraid of him, he also glared back with his eyes, putting on an expression of "You are coming to bite me".

In the morning, before Lu Bu woke up, Hou Cheng came to the account with an anxious face. Lu Bu was always alert when he slept, and when he heard Hou Cheng talking softly to Li Zou and Zhao Shu, the attendants who had changed shifts at the door, he said loudly to the outside of the account: "Is Hou Cheng outside?" What's the noise? ”

"It's a subordinate who has urgent news to report."

When Lu Bu heard this, a wheel rolled over from the couch and let Hou Cheng enter the military tent.

"Qi Qi master book, his subordinates just found out the news from the vicinity of the Nangong in the imperial city, Zhi Jinwu and the former general had a conflict in the court, and the two glared at each other at the gate of the Nangong." Hou Cheng was eloquent and reported the latest discovery to Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu heard this, his heart sank, but his face was silent, but he asked Hou Cheng with a curious face: "How did you find out about this?" ”

"The subordinates followed the master book back to the camp at dawn, took a nap, and then went to the vicinity of the Nangong to lurk and watch, and saw with his own eyes that Zhi Jinwu and the former general had a dirty affair, and after the princes of the court and the central government left the Nangong one after another, the subordinates made Qian Qian learn about it from the guards in the Nangong!"

Lu Bu was very satisfied with Hou Cheng's diligence and cleverness, and immediately praised and said, "You have done a very good job in this matter!" In the future, if you can buy any news that money can buy, just do it, and I will write it off for you when you come back! ”

After receiving Lu Bu's approval, Hou Cheng was happy in his heart, and felt that he had finally found a suitable path.

When it comes to charging into battle, Hou Cheng is not as brave as Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue; If you talk about riding and archery skills, they are not as exquisite as Cao Xing and Xue Lan and others; When it comes to big swords and spears, they are not as skilled as Wang He and Li Feng and others. But in the way of inquiring about news and pretending to lurk, Hou Cheng felt that others were not as smart and flexible as himself. Since Lu Bu recognized Hou Cheng's expertise, he decided to work in this direction in the future.

Sending Hou Cheng out of the account, Lu Bu washed his face with water, rinsed his mouth with green salt, cleaned himself up neatly, and then asked the guards to summon all the troops to discuss in the account. Lu Bu felt that maintaining a strict military appearance was also a way to improve his prestige, so he paid more attention to these details than before.

After his subordinates gathered, Lu Bu concisely informed the public of the news that Hou Cheng had discovered, and said with a worried face: "Obviously, today's dispute in the court is the Dong family's temptation of Ding Duwei, he will not directly tear his face with Ding Duwei in front of the ministers of the court, but there will inevitably be conspiracy to use in the future." What I am worried about is whether Ding Duwei will follow in the footsteps of General He Miao, and we will soon be driven by the people of Xiliang! ”

What is the footsteps of the scooter riding general He Miao? Naturally, Ding Yuan was killed by one of his subordinates. He Miao was killed by his subordinate Wu Kuang, so who would be the one who killed Ding Yuan? This question was thrown by Lu Bu, which is equivalent to showing his attitude. Everyone understands people, if Lu Bu wants to emulate Wu Kuang, how can he say these words in public at this time.

Everyone was still thinking about the meaning of Lu Bu's words, but Gao Shun said without hesitation: "Since the master book is unwilling to be a person who betrays the master, and he is unwilling to be driven by the Xiliang people, the only way to do this is to try his best to collect more people from the state. ”

Gao Shun's suggestion just touched Lu Bu's heart, and he showed obvious appreciation, turning his head and asking the others with his eyes.

"Sui Zhong (Gao Shun Zi Sui Zhong)'s proposal is very good, we all think it is!" Cheng Lian and others unanimously agreed with Gao Shun's suggestion. In fact, they also saw that even if everyone had other ideas, it was impossible to be more in line with Lu Bu's mind than Gao Shun's proposal.

As a military general, it is fundamental to grasp the power of the army.

Why didn't Lu Bu say the words of seizing military power himself, he had his own considerations.

Sometimes, the black cauldron is specially reserved for subordinates to carry, and the lord needs to have a good reputation. Even if he was thinking about how to obtain military power from Ding Yuan, he could never say it.
